Client testimonials
"I've been to several therapists for different issues over the years. Jocelyn is truly the best of the best, and I cannot recommend her more highly. I always felt heard and well cared for in sessions with Jocelyn, and I always felt better leaving a session than I did when we started. I started working with Jocelyn at the very beginning of COVID, so we were remote (video sessions) the entire time we were working together. It did not affect the experience whatsoever, and if anything, was even better than in-person as it made it so much easier to keep my weekly sessions. I could not have gotten through this pandemic without her kindness, help, and support!"
